Title Blacklist

Complete and up-to-date Instructions at mw:Extension:Title Blacklist

The following instruction section is copied from en:MediaWiki talk:Titleblacklist

Instruction Summary

The title blacklist is maintained as a system message at MediaWiki:Titleblacklist.

This page consists of regular expressions, each on a separate line, for example:

Foo <autoconfirmed|noedit|errmsg=blacklisted-testpage> 
[Bb]ar #No one should create article about it

Each entry may also contain optional attributes, enclosed in <> and divided by |

• autoconfirmed — only non-autoconfirmed users are unable to create/upload/move such pages
• noedit — users are also unable to edit this article
• casesensitive — don't ignore case when checking title for being blacklisted
• errmsg — the name of the message that should be displayed instead of standard

Also, you shouldn't add "^" at the beginning of the entry and "$" at the end. They will be added automatically.

This blacklist is Meta-only and does not affect other wikis. ~Kylu (u|t) 23:29, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

index.php spam

This is possible a better regex to stop index.php spam?

(?:.*?\/)?index\.php(?:\/.*)?

Steward election pages

Stewards\/election[ _]200[5-9]\/statements\/.*

to prevent creation after this time.--Kwj2772 11:54, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Has this actually been a problem?  — Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 20:26, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Swastikas

Hi Mike.lifeguard,

I would like to have swastikas and hammer-and-sickles included in the title blacklist because it is an inappropriate symbol

"plays with blocks" should be account-blacklisted

All accounts wnding with "plays with blocks" are vandalism-only accounts, and therefore this string should be blacklisted. 80.179.192.75 07:20, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

 Done. --Az1568 (talk) 07:37, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
